Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

Chapter 870 Sudden Enlightenment



"Zhu Jusheng, go help Zhu Wei and the others, gather them together quickly, they are in great danger now. I'll hold off these wild wolves for you!" Zhu Bufan's voice rang out next to Zhu Jusheng's ear.

Startled by the words, Zhu Jusheng, who had been fully focused on slaying the enemy, caught off guard and surprised by Zhu Bufan's sudden proximity without any notice— which was inconceivable and terrifying to him!

"But..." Just as Zhu Jusheng began to say something, his gaze had already caught the perilous situation of Zhu Wei and the others. "Be careful yourself!"

"I'll block these for you!"

Zhu Bufan bellowed, quickly stepping in front of Zhu Jusheng with a long sword in hand, about a meter off the ground, he executed a very ordinary Sweeping Thousand Army move, spreading a pale blue Light Screen, forcing all the Snow Wolves in front of Zhu Jusheng to retreat.

Then, with a swift movement, Zhu Bufan, like maggots attached to bones, pounced towards the pack of wolves.

Observing Zhu Bufan's speed and the powerful Inner Qi he exhibited, Zhu Jusheng realized it was no less formidable than his own.

"Could he have been hiding his true strength all this time?" Although he had reached a conclusion, Zhu Jusheng couldn't help but think.

But now was not the time to be stunned, Zhu Jusheng immediately refocused, using his movement technique to the utmost in the instant Zhu Bufan held off the wolves, only a faint streak of light could be seen by Zhu Bufan's eyes, flickering like a firefly in summer, vanishing without a trace between blinks.

"Such an impressive movement technique!" Zhu Bufan exclaimed in amazement, as Zhu Jusheng's step technique definitely surpassed the Floating Snow Step Technique by several levels.

"Is Zhu Bufan really just Fifth Rank in Cultivation?"

"Damn, that's really amazing!"

Soon, Zhu Jusheng had regrouped everybody, and they couldn't help but be in awe of Zhu Bufan's smooth combat within the wolf pack, every strike resulting in a splash of blood.

"Boss, we've been launching Flash Bombs for so long, but there's still no sign of help, what should we do now?"

Under Zhu Jusheng's guidance, Zhu Zi and the others fought off while retreating, gradually disengaging from the battle. The Snow Wolves that had been attacking them stopped pursuing as they retreated, but they continued a nearly frenzied attack on Zhu Bufan, who was surrounded by them. A hundred or so leaping Snow Wolves completely obscured Zhu Bufan from view.

Seeing Zhu Jusheng and the others already out of the wolves' encirclement, Zhu Bufan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Naturally, this action of the Snow Wolves was Zhu Bufan's doing. Not only did he not remove the scent of the Soul-binding Incense, but he also used an herb on himself that could attract Wild Beasts, hence, the doubly stimulated Snow Wolves naturally abandoned Zhu Jusheng and the others, focusing their target solely on Zhu Bufan.

Trapped within the encirclement of wolves, Zhu Bufan appeared calm and untethered as he weaved through the pack, but only he knew the hardships within, unspeakable to others!

When Zhu Bufan unleashed his full power, not a single wolf in the horde was a match for him, but as the saying goes, 'two fists are hard to match against four hands,' and no hero can withstand being outnumbered.

The combined Dark Force of three Snow Wolves' attacks was enough to compete with Zhu Bufan, and had it not been for the Hanhai Tide Skill constantly tempering his body, he wouldn't have lasted this long!

"Thank goodness the Wolf King hasn't appeared, otherwise, it could have been really dangerous!" Zhu Bufan secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Generally, in every wolf pack, there exists a Wolf King, which of course, is the most powerful entity in the pack. The Wolf King's greatest benefit to the pack is guidance, which can command the entire wolf pack during attacks and enhance the combat effectiveness of the pack from an overall perspective.

Since Zhu Jusheng and the others were out of danger, Zhu Bufan did not delay any further, dodging attacks from all directions and rushing outwards, of course, in the opposite direction to them.

"Boss, what is Zhu Bufan trying to do..." As Zhu Zi watched Zhu Bufan being chased by the wolf pack into the distance, he spoke with a grim expression.

"It seems he's trying to lure the wolves away!" Zhu Jusheng said gravely.

"Lure away? What does that mean? Does he intend to sacrifice himself for our sake?" Zhu Zi's expression changed, having been born into a noble family, he couldn't imagine that there were 'foolish' people in the world like Zhu Bufan.

"This is too dangerous!" Zhu Wei spoke while applying medicine to the wound on his chest.

"Jusheng bro, what do we do now?" Zhu Yun asked in a soft voice.

Zhu Jusheng took a deep look at the departing Zhu Bufan and said thoughtfully, "For now, let's rest here for a while, have something to eat, refuel, wait and see if help arrives, and whether Zhu Bufan can make it back..."

"I hope he can come back..."

"Yeah..."

"Damn it, **** it, when will this end!" Zhu Bufan couldn't help but curse as he looked behind at the wolves that had been chasing him for over an hour.

The difficulty he faced with these Snow Wolves far exceeded his expectations.

After running wildly, Zhu Bufan shook off seventy percent of the Snow Wolves, the remaining thirty percent were nearly all Ninth Rank in power. Moreover, Snow Wolves had vigorous stamina and endurance, so more than fifty of them persisted about three yards behind Zhu Bufan.

An hour.

Zhu Bufan's Inner Qi in his body had already been basically exhausted half an hour ago, and he could only keep going relying on his exceptional physical strength.

However, after half an hour of frantic sprinting, both his physical strength and Inner Qi were utterly depleted.

While running wildly, Zhu Bufan gasped heavily, continuously scanning his surroundings, hoping to find a place to hide, but he sadly realized that the nearest snow mountain was still half an hour away, which was of no use to him.

"Could it be that today I am to be buried by the kiss of wolves?" Zhu Bufan murmured to himself, sensing the increasingly oppressive aura behind him.

It seemed that even the heavens sensed Zhu Bufan's near despair, as at that moment, goose-feather-like big snowflakes began to fall, silent and invisible.

"Supreme Virtue is Like Water, benefiting all things without contention..."

"Water, the origin of all things, nurturing vitality..."

"Water, long dripping wears away stone..."

"Water carries a boat, and can also capsize it..."

"Water, the most versatile among the five elements, solid as ice, slippery as water, illusory as Qi, in movement and stillness, embodies all forms, a marvelous creation. I have exhausted my life seeking the ultimate essence of water, longing for the true understanding of it. Alas, bound by limited talent, just as death approached, I suddenly gained insight, leaving behind a strange volume of tales, speaking wildly, awaiting fellows, leaving a message for posterity!"

"The path of water, observe its form, comprehend its intent, fathom its nature, and you shall grasp the essence and true understanding. Water's Three States, ever-changing, Martial Arts and movement techniques, all encompassed within..."

Just when Zhu Bufan's heart was filled with endless despair, a familiar text emerged in his mind.

"Water Element Strange Tales!" Zhu Bufan immediately thought of the source of this text.

Water's Three States... Water's Three States...

"Solid-state water is not just ice. Frost, floating snow, all are manifestations of solid-state water!"

With this thought, Zhu Bufan inexplicably reached out to catch the falling snowflakes, but the airflow between his hands as he reached out pushed the feather-light snowflakes away. What Zhu Bufan thought was a sure catch turned out to be empty.

"Eh!" Zhu Bufan exclaimed in confusion, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky, fluttering with the howling cold wind, at times gathering into a dark cloud, at times quickly dispersing, sprinkling down upon the earth.

Watching this scene, Zhu Bufan gradually became entranced, his mind a chaotic mess, all thoughts and considerations, at this moment, turned into nothingness.

But still, Zhu Bufan continued to run forward at his fastest pace, like a mechanical doll wound up, tirelessly moving on.

This was hard on the Snow Wolves chasing Zhu Bufan. They watched as Zhu Bufan's speed gradually slowed down, soon they would be able to tear apart this man who slaughtered their kind, but at that moment, Zhu Bufan's speed stopped decreasing and instead began to accelerate almost imperceptibly.

This made the pack of wolves both anxious and furious, intermittently letting out bursts of wolf howls, startling the smaller Wild Beasts into scattering, keeping their distance.

...

Zhu Bufan, however, was completely unaware of all this. The blue bead hidden between his brows appeared again, emitting a sparkling blue light that coursed through Zhu Bufan's entire body.

In Zhu Bufan's mind, a series of scenes appeared.

A great river, winding between towering cliffs, facing countless obstacles in its path, but always finding a way around, through, over, soaking through...

Eventually, still coming together, rushing forward with great momentum.

Then, the camera angle abruptly zoomed in, arriving at the forefront of this river, where Zhu Bufan felt as if he had transformed into the river itself, facing the mountains blocking his path, permeating and traversing even the tiniest cracks.

And when there was no crack at all, he would adhere to the mountain's surface, yielding and leaning upon its contours, following its design, 'catching every wind from either side'.

Even with numerous bends and turns, Zhu Bufan could still make it through.

After that, various scenes appeared one after another, including gentle water nurturing objects, water staining clothes, and more!

"One of the specialties of Water, Water's Good Flexibility!"

Like a bolt of lightning slashing through Zhu Bufan's chaotic mind, a glimmer of enlightenment surfaced in his heart.

Water's Good Flexibility refers to water's degree of bending and stretching; under certain conditions, it can acquiesce to the external environment and change its own form. In terms of human nature, this could be described as opportunism, but of course, in human nature, this is entirely derogatory. Yet here, there is not a hint of derogation.

At the same time, the blue bead flashing with light, emitted a wisp of pale blue mist. This mist, as if alive, automatically entered Zhu Bufan's body through his acupoints and quickly disappeared.

Next, after absorbing the blue mist, every muscle emitted a faint vibration, and with each vibration, the body grew stronger.

Then, without Zhu Bufan's guidance, the Hanhai Tide Skill rapidly circulated, and the excruciating pain that normally accompanied cultivation did not surface; the operation was smooth without any sense of obstruction.
